Finding you soil’s sweet spot

This week, the guys start the episode with a listener's question: When should you start working in the garden? In Southcentral Alaska, Jeff notes that gardening begins when birch leaves are the size of a squirrel's ear. That said, It's crucial to exercise patience because your lawn and garden need sufficient time to dry out after winter's heavy snowfall.

Later, they discuss the advantages of ramial wood and the necessity of allowing your soil to warm up consistently for your intended germination.

Lastly, the team explores the idea of hardening off your plants. They emphasize its importance in ensuring plants acclimate properly to sunlight and wind.

Catch all this and more in this week's episode of Teaming with Microbes!
